Can you believe Obama voted for this shit?

H.R. 393: Universal National Service Act of 2007
To require all persons in the United States between the ages of 18 and 42 to perform national service, either as a member of the uniformed services or in civilian service in furtherance of the national defense and homeland security, to authorize the induction of persons in the uniformed services during wartime to meet end-strength requirements of the uniformed services, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to make permanent the favorable treatment afforded combat pay under the earned income tax credit, and for other purposes.
In short, a DRAFT. Well, what if you don't want to fight?
SEC. 109. CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTION.
(a) Claims as Conscientious Objector- Nothing in this title shall be construed to require a person to be subject to combatant training and service in the uniformed services, if that person, by reason of sincerely held moral, ethical, or religious beliefs, is conscientiously opposed to participation in war in any form.
(b) Alternative Noncombatant or Civilian Service- A person who claims exemption from combatant training and service under subsection (a) and whose claim is sustained by the local board shall--
(1) be assigned to noncombatant service (as defined by the President), if the person is inducted into the uniformed services; or
(2) be ordered by the local board, if found to be conscientiously opposed to participation in such noncombatant service, to perform national civilian service for the period specified in section 104(a) and subject to such regulations as the President may prescribe.
yup, they got yo ass too. Welcome to the reintroduction of indenturement in America. Everyone gets a two year sentence!

Great way to get a personnel file on every American.

Here are some things to consider:

0. Conduct will be according to Uniform Code of Military Justice, pending two years service, with discharge status.

1. Discharge status: what will be impact of bad conduct? If minorities and disadvantaged have worst record of dishonorable discharge, how many lives will this ruin for people who simply can not abide by UCMJ standards.

2. Females drafted for service??? nice.


You know what, fuck if you guys can't see this is Socialism... you guys vote for it. Me, I did my time in the service - BY MY OWN CONVICTION.
